MICHIKAKE Junmai Genzake 100% Yume-Ichiken from Fukuoka Prefecture
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wakatakeya Sake Brewery Kurume-shi, Fukuoka
Polishing ratio 70%, ALC 16
Light amber-colored sake, with a dry taste with a distinctive bitterness and a unique flavor of rice in the mouth 😅.
When I swallow it, I feel that it leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my throat...that's why I gave it 3 stars 🤗.
I searched for this sake on the internet and found out that it is a junmai sake brewed with the oldest existing sake yeast called "Saccharomyces sakeyabe (No.16)" and the oldest seed malt called "Aspergillus oryzae", made from Kurume's sake rice "Yume-Ichiken" 🤔.
So that's why it had such a unique taste... I felt like it made sense somehow 😳.

Okunomatsu Sake Brewery Nihonmatsu-shi, Fukushima
Rice polishing ratio 65%, ALC 8 degrees
Sake degree -84 Acidity 6
What is sake degree -84 😅?
This sake tastes like a sweet white wine.
If you didn't know, you would think this is white wine... not sake 😊.
Out of the 3 types of sake, this was the one that suited my taste the best 😋.

It reminds me of the surface of a river with cherry blossom petals dancing in the air.
It is quite sweet, but you can also taste the acidity and slight bitterness😅.

Hachinohe Sake Brewery Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture
ALC 7 degrees
Yeast: high malic acid producing yeast
We obtained three types of low-alcohol sweet sake and compared them 🤗.
It has a faint apple aroma. It was like a sweet sake with a sour apple taste 😃.
Sour and sweet sake... still a little bit out of my taste 😅

I'm a fan of the 🍎pom-pom🍎himezen, Okunomatsu drinking comparison was very easy to understand 😊.
I haven't drank Okunomatsu yet, so I'll look for it🎶.
Hi Eririn. Okunomatsu was the only one that had 500㎖, so it looked like a wine bottle from the shape of the bottle 😅I hope you can find it since it is a sake from Fukushima 🤗.
Yumeno-Kanbai Old Sake 2000
ALC 20-21%, with alcohol
Tsurumi Shuzo, Tsushima City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
It has been aged for 23 years since it was brewed 🧐.
It has a caramel-like aroma unique to old sake, and in the mouth it tastes like an aged single malt whiskey 😋.
I thought it would be better to drink it on the rocks with ice 🤗.

Ginjo-shu 100% Gohyakumangoku ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kumazawa Shuzo Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15%, Alcoholic
The ginjo aroma is almost imperceptible, but when you put it in your mouth, a faint fruity aroma escapes into your nose 😊.
After a while, I thought it was a dry sake with bitterness and sourness spreading in the mouth 😋.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15 degrees
The first brand I encountered and the first bottle of sake I found and purchased with an unusual bottle shape was from Ibaraki Prefecture.
The name of the brewer and the brand name were both new to me 🤗.
When poured into a sake cup, it had a subtle ginjo aroma and was a slightly dry sake with a full and crisp flavor on the palate 😋.

Kabishin Alpha (Alpha) Fish in the shade of a tree
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio: undisclosed ALC 8.5 degrees
The first brand we encountered, one of the first sake bottles we found and purchased with an unusual bottle shape was a Kabishin sake.
The label description reads, "Mellow and white wine-like with a fruity sourness of apricots, strawberries, and sudachi..." 🧐.
When you put it in your mouth, it tastes like a white wine with a strong acidity.
Fruity sourness of apricots, strawberries, sudachi, etc.] 💦 Hmmm, I couldn't really understand it 😅.
But it's low in alcohol so you can drink as much as you want 😋.

Hi Erin 😃It's been a month since your review of AKABU and Tachigai 🥰I enjoy reading your reviews after the summer break 🥰I tend to buy labels I don't see 😅Low alcohol and sour types seem to be the most popular summer sake 🤗🧐.
Junmai Ginjo Genshu Unfiltered⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aged in tablose whiskey barrels
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 17%.
This is the first brand we have encountered, a bottle of sake we found and purchased because of its unusual bottle shape. I have already encountered this brand, but...
The bottle is a whiskey bottle itself. Even the clerk at the store's cash register at the time of purchase didn't realize it was sake at first😅.
This sake has a caramel-like aroma derived from the barrels and the sharpness of ginjo. It is also unfiltered so that you can enjoy the flavor of the barrels 🤗.
When poured into a glass, it has a slightly amber color. Sake from sake barrels smells like cedar, but this sake has the aroma of Scotch whiskey barrels, like caramel 😊.
It has a bitter and sour taste in the mouth, and I think it is a sharp and dry type of sake 😋.

Junmai Ginjo-shu 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 59%, ALC 15-16 degrees
This is a new brand from Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewery.
The fruity aroma and the mild and full flavor that spreads on the palate are the characteristics of Yamadanishiki, and are well expressed in this ginjo-shu 😋.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu Roujohaari Momohana
(rojo haana ari toka) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Hyogo-Kitanishiki, Yeast: Ogawa No. 10
Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15.5 degrees
Room temperature: The ginjo aroma is not very strong. It is perceived as mildly sweet, but it is a smooth, slightly dry sake 😄.
Cold sake: Not so much sweetness, but a little sourness and bitterness in a mellow and slightly dry sake 😃.
The image of Junmai Daiginjo-shu...subtle aroma, fruity taste was not so much felt. It may be a characteristic of the combination of sake rice and yeast 🧐.

Yamata-no-orochi Dry special junmai-shu
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 58%, ALC 15%.
It is a dry sake with a crisp but robust feel 😊.
It reminded me of a kagura (Shinto music and dance) performance and a giant snake I saw at a shrine in Yunotsu Onsen, a town in the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine shipping port that I visited on a trip to Shimane 🤗.
I had it lukewarm (40℃) to top-heated (45℃).
It has a mellow taste and a deep drinking experience, which may be more to my liking.
